How can we help increase your company’s performance?
By fully understanding the industry sector in which you operate, knowing your business & key drivers, and having a complete grasp of technical solutions and business skills.

It anticipates training up to 1,000 sales & markets experts each year.

The university supports Atos Origin’s strategic initiative announced earlier this year in its Transformation Program, “3 O 3”, aimed at accelerating organic growth, improving efficiency and operating as a global company. The University is set to become the beating heart of the company where people from all over the world gather to develop their skills, exchange ideas, network with colleagues, and build long-term relations with each other and the organization. This reflects the truly international culture of Atos Origin that is present in 40 countries with an global workforce of 50,000 people.
